ETIQUETTE DINNER Honors Dr. John Rich held an etiquette dinner for his Professional Development and Leadership for Accounting Majors class. The dinner was sponsored by Tim Wright (BSB ‘86), School of Business alumnus, and was held in both Emporia and in Overland Park. Emporia High’s Future Business Leaders of America and their sponsor Jana Marstall were special guests for the Emporia event, while Linda Sinnett (BSB ‘79 and MBA ‘14) CFO at Design Resources, Inc., was the keynote speaker at Overland Park. Business etiquette is an important skill for young business graduates but may be difficult for a student to acquire on their own. During each event, June Coleman, Director of Career Services, provided students with tips and techniques that would be useful in a business type setting.
Banquet The School of Business Honors Banquet is a time to honor our outstanding students. We recognize our senior honor graduates, Outstanding Senior, Business Faculty Endowed Award recipient, and our Outstanding Graduate Student. Tony Forcum, distinguished alumni and Beta Gamma Sigma honorary member, was our guest speaker for the evening.

June says, “Fine dining etiquette is critical to establishing one’s self as a top notch professional. Many companies include a luncheon or dinner as a part of the interview process, specifically to differentiate between candidates. It’s an important method for measuring professionalism when hiring.”
